FAQProcurement FAQ
The most common buyer questions about low-temperature fresh-lock hops, sample testing, COA, and cold-chain delivery — answered first.
What is low-temperature fresh-lock hop?
Low-temperature fresh-lock hop is processed and stored under low temperature with cold-chain delivery, minimising the impact of heat and oxidation on hop aroma, bitterness, and freshness.
How is fresh-lock hop different from hop pellets?
Hop pellets suit regular production and stable procurement; low-temperature fresh-lock hop cone bricks emphasise preserving original fresh-cone aroma and layered character — ideal for specialty beer R&D, sample testing, and flavour upgrades.
Do you provide COA?
Batch-level testing and quality data are available on request — covering α-acid, β-acid, aroma profile, moisture, foreign matter, harvest batch, and cold-chain records. Final values follow the actual batch COA.
How can a brewery request a sample?
Use the website inquiry form to share company, contact, target product, expected volume, end use, delivery region, and timing — we then align on samples, COA specs, and pricing.
Do you support small-batch testing for craft breweries?
Yes. Craft breweries can start with sample testing or small-batch specialty beer trials, then confirm follow-on procurement based on flavour performance and production plan.
Do you support contract farming or custom cultivation?
Yes — long-term supply partnerships can be built around variety, batch, annual demand, COA specs, and delivery plan, subject to mutual agreement.
